Summary
The Ghost Riot trail bike is praised for its TractionLink suspension design and SuperFit geometry, offering a balanced ride that excels in both climbing and descending. However, it faces criticism for its weight and geometry limitations in steeper terrain. The bike is seen as a solid option for aggressive off-road riding, with a focus on comfort and efficiency.
TractionLink suspension design for supple rear wheel travel & traction
Progressive geometry for aggressive off-road riding
SuperFit geometry meant to fit a wide range of riders
Plush and smooth-running bike that excels on challenging terrain
Reasonable price considering the parts kit
Heavy, especially for a 140mm trail bike
Geometry holds it back in steeper terrain
Noticeable suspension bob while climbing
Low bottom bracket can lead to frequent pedal strikes on technical climbs
Extreme geometry and high weight restrict its all-round capabilities
Ghost has brought back the popular Riot name for a new alloy full suspension family, a complete overhaul for 2021 with three distinct variants to cover all the mountain bike bases – EN, AM & Trail.
Bikerumor"Just let it go" is the mantra of the GHOST RIOT EN when gravity takes over and you shred your way back down into the valley.

I'm a huge fan of the concept behind the Riot Trail – the idea of a tough, shorter travel trail bike with a coil shock is good one, which made it all the more frustrating when it didn't live up to its promise out on the trail.
Formula suspension and brakes help it stand out from the crowd.
